I really would have preferred this week's Brawl to have been "flip a coin."  I would have gotten through my "Win 5 Brawls" quest in just as many games, but without the lack of actual interesting gameplay.
Why not just get a different quest?

Its a 50 gold quest. Chances are you get a 40 gold quest instead. Or he already changed a different quest today.

Isn't it a 60 gold quest?

From http://hearthstone.gamepedia.com/Tavern_Brawl in the notes section (Rewards and Quests):

Quote
There is one Brawl-specific quest, Everybody! Get in here!, which awards 60 gold for winning 5 Tavern Brawls.

For the amount of effort needed to complete that quest, it better be 60 gold.

It would have been nice if they'd thrown in some LoE boss powers for this one.

I really think the Deathrattle bonus is hands down the best in this one, unless you're playing an all-spell Mage.

I got smacked down by an Entomb priest using spell bonus.  Velen's Chosen, Inner Fire, PWS on a Northshire Cleric... then Entomb on both my taunts.  Brutal.

I tried Murloc Paladin because I had a quest and though I did get my win on the 2nd try deathrattle seemed far stronger.

Has anyone tried a Battlecry deck?

Yeah I tried the Battlecry deck with Dragon Priest. It beat Murloc Secret Paladin. Wouldn't you know it, the tinyfins are a serious nerf to Anyfin Can Happen.

What deck is really good at exploiting deathrattle cards?

I saw people running Nax era Hunter deathrattle decks and it seemed pretty good.

That's kind of what I'm running.  Webspinner, Mad Scientist, Belcher, Highmane, Skitterer, Loot Hoarder, plus some fun with Explorer's Hat and Feign Death.

Maybe? It's fact that lions and hyenas are rivals in real life and constantly fight each other. It makes perfect sense for a lion carcass to be feasted upon by hyenas.

I made a Dragon Warrior battle cry deck -- abusive Sargent, all the neutral dragons, Alex's champion, Arathi weapon smith are the notables.  Plus the usual axe, execute, WW, bash, etc.

Got my 5 warrior wins quest done in 7 brawls.

Mill Rogue appears strong. It can just play normally but effectively starting at 60+ life instead of 30. I guess I'll need to give it a try since I've lost to it with two different decks and didn't feel like there was much I could do. (Although I assume it would still lose if it failed to draw Coldlight Oracle for long enough.)

So far I'm a bit underwhelmed by this brawl as the successful decks seem to be basically the same as normal constructed decks.

I beat an all spell Warrior deck last night. That was the most painful deck to beat. I think I must have done over a hundred damage to the enemy hero by the time the game ended. Wish I'd had the beat down quest.

I just built a pretty normal Control Warrior list with slightly more spells than usual. It seemed to work pretty well, I had the win 5 Brawls quest and the only games I lost were against a Druid who had the OTK and a face Hunter who was just too fast against my bad opening hand.

Bomb, Cannon, and many of the Gunpowder cards can strongly effect gameplay, particularly in a destructive way

Yeah, I think the opponent I was playing against had too many spells and not enough win conditions. All he could do was remove almost everything I played while I gradually wore him down. He had a Ragnaros, but after I removed it I didn't see any other big bodies.

I played something similar. The spells are great at keeping alive and removing my threats but he had no return threats.

That's why you play Mage and run Unstable Portal, Mirror Entity, Duplicate, Mad Scientist, Ethereal Conjurer... hell, maybe even Spellslinger.  Mage has a lot of minion-spell mix options.
